Chen Gong had some opinions about Cao Cao because of Lu Boshe. Later, he persuaded him not to attack Xuzhou, but he didn't listen, which further exacerbated the conflict. So he advised Zhang Miao: "Now the court is in decline, the local government is
Separation, heroes are coming together. You are now leading a team of thousands of people, but you are restricted everywhere. Don’t you think this is inappropriate? Now Cao Cao basically takes all his troops to attack Xuzhou. Yanzhou is empty. Now you have the first place in the world.
If Lu Bu of the Warriors takes down Yanzhou with him, then he can dominate the Central Plains."
Chen Gong's suggestion made Zhang Miao feel excited, so he asked Lu Bu to lead his troops to attack Yanzhou, and soon occupied Puyang. Only three cities in Juancheng, Dong'a and Fan County were defended by soldiers and did not attack them. All other cities were
Occupied.
Cao Ren wanted to get the city back, but he had no way to defeat him after repeated attacks, so he could only ask Cao Cao for emergency.
Cao Cao knew what Yanzhou meant to him and sighed: "If Yanzhou is lost, I will be really homeless. I can only let go of Xuzhou."
Guo Jia said: "In this situation, Xuzhou must not be able to fight. It is just right that he can sell him Liu Bei alone. We retreat to Yanzhou to quell the rebellion."
At this time, Cao Cao's idea was clear and he agreed, so Guo Jia handed the reply letter to Yu Yi.
After receiving the letter, Yu Yi bowed and asked, "You are absolutely extraordinary. I'm afraid you are the unborn counselor my teacher mentioned, Guo Jia."
Guo Jia was arrogant and naturally did not take Yu Yi seriously. After handing over the letter, he was about to leave. As soon as Yu Yi said this, he became interested and said, "I don't know where you are from?"
"Mr. Jia Xu!" Yu Yi replied.
Although Jia Xu has a strategy of being a great man, he is not very popular and has a low profile, so many people don’t know that. Guo Jia just sneered and said, “I don’t know this person, but I’m still very happy that he knows me.
”
Yu Yi took the letter and looked at the soldiers who were packing things outside, and asked tentatively: "You won't persuade Cao Cao to deceive us with letters first, and then sneak attack on Xuzhou. If this is the case, then you will be unkind.
”
Guo Jia was shocked and instantly increased his attention to Yu Yi. He did not expect that the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as him, could think of this step. He really couldn't underestimate it and said, "You're thinking too much."
After saying that, he left.
Yu Yi just smiled and said to Guo Jia's back: "You will suffer a loss if you are too sharp. This is what my master told me!"
When Guo Jia heard this, he paused for a few seconds and then continued to leave.
Yu Yi quickly returned to Xuzhou with the letter, told everyone what happened, and handed the letter to Liu Bei.
Tao Qian was very happy after hearing this, so he prepared to hold a big banquet, but Yu Yi stopped him and said, "Cao Cao cannot infer from common sense. We should still be sensible so that he will not be able to fight back."
Suddenly someone reported that Yanzhou was occupied by Lu Bu.
After hearing this news, everyone seemed very happy. Yu Yi thought of Guo Jia's expression and roughly judged the true situation of this matter, saying: "Yanzhou is Cao Cao's base. If something goes wrong in Yanzhou, he will be real.
There is no way out, so this time he really retreated."
Zhang Fei was a little puzzled and said, "How could these three surnames suddenly attack Yanzhou?"
"Haha, since the Chang'an Rebellion, he is said to have defected to many people, but no one takes him in, only Zhang Miao is willing to take him in."
Yu Yi smiled.
When he got here, Tao Qian suddenly realized and said, "This is Chen Gongtai helping me."
He told everyone about Chen Gong's pleading with Cao Cao and then Zhang Miao.
At this time, the mystery was finally solved. It was obvious that Chen Gong went to lobby Zhang Miao and launched a sudden attack while Cao Cao was empty, which was really a clever chess move.
So the banquet was held as scheduled, and Tao Qian also sent someone to call Kong Rong, Tian Kai, Yun Chang and Zilong outside the city to drink together.
Liu Bei sat in the guest of honor, Tao Qian sat aside, after drinking for three rounds, Tao Qian bowed to everyone and said, "I am already very old, and my two sons are not very successful, so I really can't take on the heavy responsibility.
, Mr. Liu is a relative of the Han Dynasty and has noble virtues. He can take over Xuzhou for me. I am willing to retreat and go home to recuperate."
Unexpectedly, Tao Qian was very determined. Yu Yi hoped that Liu Bei could take over this burden so that he could occupy a place in the Central Plains. With his virtue, he would definitely attract a large number of talents. With this foundation, he would gradually expand.
, if you take Beihai, Dingqingzhou, and compete with Cao Cao for power, then the Central Plains can be determined, but he did not say it, because he still remembered the last time Liu Bei was angry.
Liu Bei said: "Kong Rong asked me to help rescue Xuzhou for the sake of loyalty. Now I occupy Xuzhou without any basis. People all over the world think I am an ungrateful person."
Mi Zhu came out and advised: "Now the Han Dynasty is weak and the country is overthrown, which is a good time to make achievements. Xuzhou has a very wealthy population and a household registration of one million. Only people like Liu Jun can command it. Please do not quit.
.”
Liu Bei still refused and said, "Don't persuade me about this matter anymore, I can't agree."
Chen Deng also came out to advise: "Our lord is indeed a little sick and can no longer manage things. I hope you don't refuse."
Liu Bei defended himself: "Yuan Shao's four generations and three masters, where he belongs to the country, is in Shouchun, why not give Xuzhou to him?"
Yu Yi felt that this was a bit irresponsible and said, "Although Yuan Shao was the three masters of the four generations, the experience of the eighteen princes fully proved that this man was not a person who accomplished great things. Look at his younger brother who believed the rumors and did not transport food to Sun Jian.
He could clearly break through Chang'an in one fell swoop, but he refused to send troops to Xuzhouran. Wouldn't he send the meat to the tiger's mouth?"
Kong Rong also looked down on Yuan Shao and said with a slogan: "Yuan Shao is not as good as you see. Today's incident is your fate. If you don't take it, you will definitely regret it in the future!"
Liu Bei was still very determined, but he just refused to accept Xuzhou.
At this time, Yu Yi saw this characteristic of Liu Bei. He was really a bit stubborn. Those who accomplish great things should be careless. Even if you have to worry about such a long time, will you also let other things happen?
The opportunity slipped away in vain?
Tao Qian, who was on the side, suddenly burst into tears when he saw Liu Bei so determined, and said, "If you leave me, I will die in the nine springs."
Yuyi advised: "I am eager to follow the power. Although Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to you, don't make any mistakes. This is not your private territory. You are the agent of the Han Dynasty to manage this place well, and the local people benefit from it.
Besides, are outsiders’ evaluations really that important?”
